What is a History of Science postdoc?

A History of Science Postdoc is a scholar who has recently completed their PhD and is engaged in advanced research and training in the history of science. These positions typically last from one to three years and are designed to help early-career researchers develop their academic profiles, publish research, and gain teaching experience. Postdocs in this field often work on projects that explore how scientific ideas, practices, and institutions have developed over time, and may also contribute to interdisciplinary collaborations.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a History of Science postdoc?

To thrive as a History of Science Postdoc, you need a Ph.D. in history, history of science, or a closely related field, along with strong research and analytical skills. Familiarity with digital humanities tools, academic databases, and manuscript or archival systems is often required. Exceptional writing, critical thinking, and collaborative abilities help you contribute to publications, presentations, and interdisciplinary projects. These skills ensure rigorous scholarship, effective communication of research findings, and productive engagement with academic communities.

What challenges might a History of Science postdoc face when balancing research and teaching responsibilities?

History of Science Postdocs often juggle multiple responsibilities, including conducting independent research, publishing papers, and teaching undergraduate or graduate courses. A common challenge is effectively managing time to ensure progress on research projects while meeting teaching commitments and supporting students. Additionally, postdocs may need to adapt quickly to new institutional cultures and expectations, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, and seek funding or prepare grant applications to support their work. Developing strong organizational and communication skills can help balance these demands and foster a productive postdoctoral experience.

Position Information
Position Title
Postdoctoral Scholar, Comparative Biology
Department
Inst For Comp Genomics - 009
Position Summary
The American Museum of Natural History is one of the world's preeminent scientific and cultural institutions, and has as its mission to discover, interpret and disseminate information about human cultures, the natural world and the universe through a wide-ranging program of scientific research, education and exhibition.
The Hayashi lab at the American Museum of Natural History seeks a motivated postdoctoral scholar to conduct research on the population genomics of silk genes in orb-weaving spiders. These spiders produce a variety of silk types with numerous functional differences and the genes that encode these proteins are characterized by abundant gene duplication, complicated repeat structure, extreme homogenization and convergent evolution. We are interested in understanding the molecular and evolutionary mechanisms that generate and maintain genomic diversity of these genes.
For lab details see:https://www.amnh.org/research/staff-directory/cheryl-y-hayashi
The project will leverage whole genome sequencing (WGS) with haplotype phasing across multiple spider populations. Spider silk genes possess complicated hierarchical organization involving SNPs, indels, repeats and paralogs, requiring multi-dimensional measurement of molecular variation. The postdoc will also have opportunities to identify other silkome components under strong selection or pursue additional research with the available WGS data. Field collection and wet lab experiments may be included.
The expected salary for the Postdoctoral Scholar is $71,181/annual. The AMNH offers an extensive benefits package designed to meet the needs of our dedicated and diverse community. The Postdoctoral Scholar is expected to be in residence working at the Museum.
Pay will be determined based on several factors. The hiring range for the position at commencement is based on the type of work and the scope of responsibilities. The salary and placement offered is based on a number of individualized factors, including, but not limited to, skills, knowledge, training, education, credentials, areas of specialization and depth and scope of experience.
Minimum Qualifications
  • Ph.D. degree with experience in the application of bioinformatics methods, particularly population genomic analyses of structural variation and selection
  • Proficiency with coding and expertise in the visualization of genomic data.
  • Demonstrated ability to write peer-reviewed scientific publications
  • Demonstrated ability to work well independently and with a team.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Familiarity with wet lab techniques, particularly RNA extraction and processing
  • Experience collecting specimens in the field.
